LaGuardia Airport, Monday Afternoon

[screwyoumarvel]

As soon as the foursome from Fandom exited the terminal, a man walked up to Steve, handed him an envelope, and walked off without saying a word. Ah, SHIELD's unnecessary secrecy. How Steve didn't miss it. He opened the envelope and took out two things: the keys to a Porsche and a piece of paper, which he unfolded and scanned. As he read, a grin spread across his face. "Yeah, Tony, you're going to have to sign this before we can leave."

((Open to those guys. NFB due to distance.))

"...why?" He knew those keys, damn it. That was a Porsche.

[shiroi_tiger]

"Clearly, he wants you to sign your life away," Nathan mused, leaning ever so slightly in an attempt to catch a glimpse at the paper.

[tyler_gone]

"Sign it so we can go?" Tyler said, also trying to read over Steve's shoulder. "Worst it can be is your soul."

[screwyoumarvel]

Steve laughed. "It's nothing like that." He held the paper out to Tony. "You're just agreeing you won't pop the hood on the car or mess with it in any way." That was, indeed, what it said. "Got a pen?"

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Your concern is touching," He informed Tyler and Nathan. "Are they worried I'd break their car?"

Tony was offended here! A car was sacred!

But he was holding out his hand for a pen anyway.

[shiroi_tiger]

"Perhaps they're worried that they'll have to drag you out of it with chains and horses," Nathan offered. Because he was so, so full of that ever touching concern. "Mind you, that would make for an interesting vacation."

[tyler_gone]

"No horses, no chains," Tyler said. "So, uh, can any of us drive on this contract or just Tony?"

He'd never driven a Porsche!

[screwyoumarvel]

"The contract isn't for driving. It's just for not messing with the car," Steve said. Actually, it was for not accidentally stealing secret technology, but it had been worded very carefully to avoid mentioning that part. "I'll let you drive. Under certain conditions." Like, on the ground.

If they were very nice he might let them fly it for a little while.

"Come on, Stark, I want to get out of here sometime today."

"Patience is a virtue," Tony informed him, scrawling his signature with lazy ease. "There. Can we go now?"

[shiroi_tiger]

"Please, lets." The airport was huge and busy and there were people bustling around them, and Nathan was starting to feel somewhat on the claustrophobic side.

A pause.

"And for the record, I can't drive."

[tyler_gone]

"Tony will teach you," Tyler offered generously, and started walking off toward the garage with the other three behind, Nathan limping last.

"So Steve," he asked as he walked, "this isn't a teaching basketball to troubled youth kind of vacation, is it?"

[screwyoumarvel]

"No, this is a doing as little as possible and eating lobster kind of vacation," Steve assured him, keeping one eye on Nathan's progress. "I figured we all needed it, and hopefully it'll keep Tony from complaining too much."

"Is there wifi access?" Tony was a total bitch.

[shiroi_tiger]

"Is there what?" That there, that was a confused look from the man taking up the rear. One of these days, he'd figure out the 21st century. Today was not it.

[tyler_gone]

"Internet access," Tyler said. "I think he's breeding giant pandas on facebook."

[screwyoumarvel]

"There is, but this isn't a working vacation, okay?" Steve said. They were approaching the general area where SHIELD kept their cars, so he paused and hit the button on the remote.

Something a few rows over beeped at them. "It's this way."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Pandas?" Hey, even Tony was lost on that one.

[shiroi_tiger]

"So far as I know, they're a kind of bear," Nathan offered up, ever so helpfully. "What's a Facebook?"

He was doomed.

[tyler_gone]

"It's a website that exists so you can tell everyone you knew in sixth grade which Care Bear you are." Tyler was being excruciatingly helpful today, clearly.

he paused near where the beeping had come from. "Is that the car?"

[screwyoumarvel]

"That's the car," Steve confirmed. It was candy-apple red, a convertible, and if it didn't look quite like any Porsche currently on the market, well, there were reasons for that.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Which meant Tony was practically making love to it with his eyes as he ran his hands over the hood. "Not even a peak?"

Oh, he was totally going to when Steve wasn't around.

[shiroi_tiger]

"Maybe when Steve isn't looking," Nathan suggested. Because he was hopping into the line of very helpful people, this afternoon. "Spare the poor man a heart attack."

[tyler_gone]

Tyler kind of had a thing for nice cars, so he was walking around the Porsche as slowly as he could, drinking it in with his eyes.

"What is this, 2010 model year?"

[screwyoumarvel]

"Something like that," Steve mumbled as he popped the trunk and tossed his bag in. "I don't know the specifics. And there are some...modifications, of course." At least this one had a trunk. Some of them had weapons systems instead.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"...modifications?" Tony said it in a way someone might say 'bisexual twin Maxim models'.
